Geocache Description:


The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the actual location of the cache.

I was tempted to name this cache "Harry Leon Wilson," to whom the phrase is mostly attributed or "John Feinstein," who most recently popularized it, but I decided trying to name all twelve caches this year after people was not going to be maintainable. I have dabbled at this activity in the past, but I always ended up with far more snowmen than birdies. For some, having to read through dozens of pages of rules will ruin any game. After two poorly executed puzzles in a row (one with demonstrable errors and another with ambiguous answers), I've decided to be less ambitious this month. Hopefully, on this one, you will find yourself under par by the time you reach the 19th hole.

  • responsible for entering
  • whether the ball has
  • guy wires
  • paper
  • might reasonably affect
  • all of the course
  • in charge
  • other than the putting

Special Notes about the 2024 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which is planned for March 15, 2025). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep from getting so frustrated by submitting caches that I decide to quit! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: I was actually working on another puzzle idea, but it didn't work with these coordinates; so I had to pivot.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
